I have been watching what was for sale as far as the Volvo trucks, and you shouldn't have any problem finding one that suits your needs except for the gears. Most of the trucks would have a tough time with gears that high when they are working close to rated capacity.
I have no problem with a manual transmission either, but if by chance my wife needed to 'herd it' somewhere...... Well, let's just say it may get interesting...
